The Post That Took Me Forever
This blog is going to take a very long time to do. And I hope you appreciate my efforts in entertaining you, for the amount of time it takes you to read this.
When so many kids grew up they believed in becoming rich, and having the lives that were only real in the world of fantasy. Imagination flooded their reality. They had absolutely no idea of how they were going to achieve what they had envisioned themselves achieving. I even see it today. Kids are so engulfed in becoming the most important people in the world and they are, at the same time getting bad grades on tests. I know I saw myself living in an enormous house on the top of a mountain. But now I see that there is absolutely no way in the world that I am going to get to that. I am being realistic with myself. Realism is the key to life. It allows you to see what is within your reach. I am not saying that imagination should be outlawed, because it gets you stuck in life, and it doesn’t allow you to move forward. That would be ridicules to assume. Imagination is what enables new inventions to come into this world. All I am saying is that people need to see what their strengths are and cultivate them determination, and effort.
This is truly fantastic. I can’t imagine linking every single word. The one question that I think of after reading this, is why don’t we link more words to dictionaries? Why don’t we have the context for more of our concepts?
I really think that looking for the answers behind the words is so intriguing. There are so many things that we can learn about the words just by looking at their definitions or their contexts. Take the link for Imagination. It taught me about the difference between creative and reproductive imagination, and I believe that this definition enriches my understanding of the post. Is Hockey90 talking about imagination for things that have been or haven’t been yet?
The other question that this post raises is that of how many other links besides dictionaries can be used to create greater contexts for our Weekly Authentics. I really feel challenged by this post to explore the concept of total linkage.
